Colby's Story
Colby was a very
special boy to LVLR. He was sprung from a high kill
shelter and brought into our foster care. He came to us
not liking cats at all and being very unsure about male
dogs. He had one unsuccessful adoption and after that
return, he was a little freaked out. A great woman in
Washington that had both male dogs and cats applied for
him stating there was just something that called to her.
Well, she was more than
right. A short flight up there and he has found HIS
home. He loves his brothers and his new life in the
beautiful Northwest.
Colby's new mom has
written the following after a few short days with her
new boy.
Last night since everyone was
getting along I decided to go to bed. As I've posted
before my dogs sleep on the bed with me. Well Otis
and Jake always have a "place" and if they don't get
that place....long night.
Jake and Otis get up on the bed, Colby didn't know
how to jump or climb the stairs. He kept walking
around and around. Finally decided to jump..all four
feet at the same time.
He laid down....found his "spot". I have Jake across
the bottom, Otis on my left stretched out with full
body contact against me and now Colby on my right.
He needed to have something touching me and kept
lifting his head to look at me. I was watching tv
somewhat and watching the dynamics going on. Pretty
soon all I hear was snoring from all three and with
Colby *snuffing* against my jaw.
Then this weird noise.......yes it is raining very
hard and I was wondering what was loose outside
hitting the house. Put TV on mute and listened
harder......thump, thump, thump....over and over.
What the???? My mind went to those stupid scary
stories that were always told to kids around the
campfire.....
thump, thump, thump.....
Lifted my head a bit, cuz I didn't want to disturb
Colby who's head was on my shoulder and with the
light from the tv followed his body length down.
He was completely sound asleep......with his tail
wagging, making a loud thumping noise on the edge of
the bed. The
following are pics of Colby from his foster home,
and into his new wonderful life!
